There are product placements, but almost without fail outside the borders of
any articles, etc. Almost all of the recipes and informational
articles/sections do not contain references to specific products, so I think
it's not too bad. Some of the recipes as you move on in the phases start to
suggest Atkins Bake Mix, etc, but we all know that other things can be
substituted at this point.

In many ways Atkins.com has made the purchase of the book a little less
necessary. It also includes meals, snacks, you name it.

Of course, this group has a wealth of articles, many concerning the same
questions asked every other day, if you will just search :-)


I bought the book almost two years ago. Since then the Atkins
organisation
has moved strongly towards marketing all sorts of food type products
which,
IMO, we would be well off without. The book didn't push this stuff, just
gave the rationale for the diet and suggested real food to eat. Is the
web
site as detached, or has it become part of the marketing department,
intent
on pushing bars and shakes and quasi low-cal substitutes?
